UK Degree (BA) Recognition in Spain/ homologación título británico en España
Hi guys!
Really hope you can help me. I did my degree (BA in Politics, Honours Degree - 3 years) at Queen Mary, University of London (2006-2009) and I need it to be recognized in Spain in order to seat the exams to become a civil servant (oposiciones). I only need the Spanish Ministry to recognize I have a LICENCIATURA, no matter which one, but a LICENCIATURA (not a diploma or anything else). The thing is that my UK degree was only 180 European Credit Transfer System, not the 240 a Spanish licenciatura en Ciencias Políticas requires.
Has anyone succeed in getting their degrees recognized by the Spanish Ministry of Education?
Many thanks in advance.

Spain has more unemployed people with degrees than you can shake a stick at
One guy I know has 3 degrees and he pumps petrol weekends and is studying German and English so he can get out of the country

My nursing qualifications and my husbands medical degrees have been recognised. His qualifications confused them somewhat as he is more qualified than Spanish Gp's but we have the right paperwork and more qualifications than less is more useful when transferring across. His took about 6 months and we had to involve Solvit to help us along the way. Mine only took about 6 weeks

Language is not an issue for me, but thanks for the advice! And I know about the situation, I'm actually living in Spain right now, it's just so depressing... But I need the degree recognition for a long-term project, so no need to worry about that right now...
Thanks!
Thanks!
